A Popular and Successful Real
Estate Dealer.


Among the many successful real estate
agents in Los Angeles is Mr.. e. A. Sum-
ner, who does business under the head
of C. A. sumner l. Co., at 54 North
Main street. Mr.. Sumner, who is well
and favorably known in Los Angeles,
found his business so rapidly increasing
that he was obliged to secure more
spacious and commodious quarters and
accordingly rented the premises which
were formerly occupied for many years
by the Los Angeles National Bank, on
North Main street. The office is 20x60
feet and contains large fire and burg.
lar proof vault which Mr.. Sumner
places at the disposal of his patrons
who desire their deeds and valuable
papers to be secure. Mr.. Sum-
ner has divided his office into
different departments, and in addition
to his extensive real estate business also
has department for house renting, fire
and life insurance and an auction de-
partment. Mr.. Sumner is one OF the
| we posted men on real estate in Los
Angeles, and those who are about to
purchase city or country property will
benefit their own pockets by looking
over the list of properties on his bulletin
boards. Mr.. Sumner has been in the
real estate business over ten years. He
was formerly the owner of the entire
country which is now known as the
town Of Elsinore, in San Diego county.
His many friends view with pleasure his
leading position in the real estate line
a stand which he has secured by his
own indefatigable pluck and industry.

GENERAL E. E. HEWITT.
A veteran, Hallway Manager OF
Twenty Years.

EDITOR HERALD: The departure o
Gen. +. Z. Hewitt, for a trip II
the northern part of the State fo
the benefit of his health, calls tt
mind incidents and occurrences which
il written out would be recollected as
part of the history of Southern Califor'
mia. Without attempting anything OF
biography, it will be remembered that
many years ago, when the late General
Phineas Banning controlled large
l transportation business and exercised a
personal and political influence to which
no successor has arisen, with his usual
Judgment of material attached to his
business staff, Col. Hewitt then young
man who, up to that tiule had made no
| record different from others of his age,
| with the exception of having served in
the Mexican war. With the growth of
the country and consequent expansion
of business, appeared o capacity ON the
part of his aid not unlocked for by
the General. The business relations
between them were changed by the
advance in transportation attained when
Tichnor built and equipped the Los
Angeles and San Pedro railroad, in
looking around for a manager OF a
business new to every one, his eye at
once fell upon Hewett as the one in
whom was combined the necessary
energy and capacity. Hewitt's entrance
into this field might be called the intro.
ductory step to his practical and
policical career. Since that time
no questions of importance have arisen
in the county with which he is not
familiar. No persons of great or minor
note have come or gone without his
acquaintance, and scarcely an improve |
ment or forward step has been made |
that does not in some way indicate |
his presence, so intimately were his in
dividual acts connected with current |
events.
The advent of the Southern Pacific |
Railroad and his engagement with it
marked another period in his work.
The new association enforced an addi.
tional obligation to labor for interests
to his employers and his fellow
aud though differences in senti-
ment relating to methods and policy ex-
listed for time between the two parties
for whom he labored and which now
aud then deepened into acrimony, each
side felt that the approach to
an understanding was through Col.
onel Hewitt's faculty for adjust
ment, and through all the various
ano intricate transactions, commercial
and political, which affected the interest
OF his corporation and his fellow citi-
zens he held and still holds firmly the
confidence and esteem of both. 1t may
be that the satisfaction of looking back
over the results of twenty years of toll
may be shaded by many circumstances,
such as the lack of more material pros
perity, failures of plans for railroad and
county improvements upon which his
heart was set, and the continually ex.
sting jealousy of those who wish to dis
place him. h. K.

COL. BOyCE vs.. THE FINES.
The Hearing Continued for on
Week.

The hearing of the motion to set aside
the stipulation for the dismissal of the
suits of Col. H. II. Boyce against the
Times.Mirror Company came up before
Judge 0'Melveney yesterday morning
Stephen NJ. White asked leave to file
the withdrawal of Messrs. Houghton,
Silent & Campbell as counsel for defend.
ants and to substitute for them Messrs.
Bicknell & White and Anderson, Fitz.
gerald 4 Anderson in their places. No
objection was taken to this action, and
the formal withdrawal and substitution
was filed. Mr.. White then asked for a
continuance on the ground that the
newly substituted attorneys had not bad
time TO examine the papers connected
with the case.
Mr.. williams, for the plaintiff. OBJ
jecteG on the ground that plenty of time
mad already been given since the attida-
Wits had been filed, on May 18th. Mr..
Williams then read the atfidavits hereto.
fore published in the HERALD.
Judge O'Melveny asked if any date
had been fixed for the retractlon to
be made, and Mr.. Williams replied
shat there was not, but he claimed
that the dismissal had been obtained by
fraud on the plaintiff, which was also o
contempt OF Court. Under such circum-
stances the plaintiff was entitled, in his
opinion, to be reinstated in the came
position occupied by him prior to the
perpetration OF the fraud.
Mr.. White objected to the merits of
the case being gone into at this time.
Mr.. Williams urged the Court to de.
clare that the defendants had no right
TO 90 into Court until the plaintiff was
reinststed. The defendants had insulted
the dignity of the Court, and they
ought not TO occupy q vantage ground
obtained by fraud.
Mr.. Fitzgerald said that he wanted
sufficient time to file proper aftidavits
He had not seen the notice served or
Messrs. Houghton, Silent Il Campbell
until Friday evening, and he had not
time enough.
The Court favored q continuance or
the ground that the change of counsel
fusnished good reason therefor.
After some further discussion, which
partook somewhat of a heated nature,
the Court decided that it would post
pone further hearing until next Saturday
morning at 8 o'clock.

NEW YORK. May 2l.-1he opening was
dull and heavy, most OF the stocks showing
slight declines from last evenings final
figures. Further Insignificant losses were
made in the general list. but Fort Worth
and Denver developed decided weakness,
losing 1ae per cent. Toward the end OF the
first hour, better feeling prevailed, and
the market became firm to strong, with In
creased animation. An improvement was
specially noticeable in Texas Pacific, Den
yer and Rio Grande, San Francisco and
Marshall Coal There was no further
change and the close was fairly active and
strong at the best prices OF the day. Almost
everything is higher, but changes are for
fractions only.

Time to Cut Grass.

Experience differs somewhat as to
the proper time to cut grass, but it
may be taken as a general rule that
timothy should be mown just about
the time it is in blossom, and clover
when the blossoms are about half out.
All ruminating animals seem to like
hay better when it is cut about the
second blossom (timothy,) but horses
prefer it little older. 1t is an error
to suppose, as many do, that timothy
cut in blossom will make dusty hay,
and be conducive to heaves in horses.
But there is another cause for this
dust 1t is cutting it early in the
morning when it is laden with high
dews 1t falls in wet, compact mass
on the ground, and it will be i'm
possible to cure it as bright and clean
as if cut after the dew is off. The
dew and the drying or curing causes
particles of leaves and fibers to loosen
and they make the dust which is too
often seen in hay, when it is thrown
from the NOW to fodder. The
brighter your timothy the better,
whether for feeding at home or for
market. Watch the weather and put
up your hay if possible unwet by
heavy rains. Remember the old
adage "Make hay while the sun
shines" This to be taken verbatim
ct literatins,
